Budds' Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC
410 South Service Road West
Oakville, ON L6K 2H4
Basil was born in New Delhi, India and has lived in Kenya and Uganda throughout his life. His grandfather was a doctor and his father retired an aeronautical engineer. Basil himself is the widowed father of two wonderful twin sons, Ryan and Neil. Basil enjoys working in the auto industry as he believes the sky is the limit; he has recently sold some cars on-line to customers which he found a very interesting experience. Being candid, truthful and sincere are characteristics Basil feels makes a strong salesperson, all three of which he demonstrates. Although Basil is a peaceful and calm man, don't think that he hasn't had some wild encounters. Basil has come face to face on three separate occasions when he was in east Africa, with a lion, an elephant and a hippo! He also survived an armed carjacking in Nairobi!

2019 Cadillac CTS - third car purchased from Budds' I recently purchased a new 2019 Cadillac CTS from Budds' in Oakville. I have previously purchased a pre owned Buick and pre owned Cadillac from Budds I recently purchased a new 2019 Cadillac CTS from Budds' in Oakville. I have previously purchased a pre owned Buick and pre owned Cadillac from Budds' as well. This is the third car I have purchased from this dealership. Basil Silas and Rob Powell were very professional and the overall purchasing experience was excellent. I have also taken the previous two cars I purchased from Budds' into the service department routinely for maintenance, and I find the staff in the service department to be knowledgable, courteous and will continue to service the new CTS there. Overall, after having purchased numerous cars at various dealerships over the years, I plan on continuing to purchase from Budds' and Basil. I would highly recommend Budds' and Basil to any of my friends and family. More
